RE: TAG ROPES

Currently watching the Boston show from The Final Countdown Tour, and something bothered me in only a way that a fake* rule about a fake* sport that I love can.

Some dink during the opening Young Bucks/Cheech & Cloudy tag match yells out "you didn't use the tag rope!!!" when the Bucks make a tag.

BRO. If you're going to be a huge sweaty loser and yell out about the rules, you should probably know them.

The tag rope rule isn't "you have to hold the tag rope when you make a tag." The rule is: you have to be within 18 inches of your team's turnbuckle to legally make a tag. The tag rope (exactly 18 inches) is just a way of knowing how close you are.

I agree, but dude you are calling the kettle black. Remember when Steve ( I think it was him) yelled at Aries about holding the tag hope. And then he awesomely displayed that he had it in his hand all along. but glad you clarified the rules.
